Abstract: The article is based on my speech to the round table in the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the report of A.Ya. Rubinstein, R. S. Grinberg, A. E. Gorodetsky "Failures of society in a paternalistic state". It shows that the presented in this report point of view significantly differs from the traditional and established in the public consciousness understanding of paternalism as a kind of tutelage and of the state as a legitimate form of violence. The authors associate paternalism with public choice, and consider the state as a socially unifying force. They develop the economic theory of the state, the value of which is overcoming the extremes of liberal and class approaches to the question of the role and place of the state in the historical development.
